Aguilera Set To Shock With New Video

Published: Thursday 29th Apr 2010 by Sam

Ahead of tomorrow’s première of the video for Christina Aguilera‘s new single ‘Not Myself Tonight’, another still from the clip has surfaced. It’s certainly looking as though the mother of one is going the ‘shock and awe’ route this go round.

Granted it’s her old stomping ground (see: ‘Stripped’ project), it definitely won’t help them pesky GaGa comparisons, will it? Particularly when Xtina is the one struggling to get things popping on the charts, with ‘Not Myself Tonight’ dropping a whopping #23-#49 on the Billboard Hot 100 this week.

In any case, check out Christina talking about working with director Hype Williams on the song’s video below…

  2. cafflo April 29, 2010

    Isn’t that Lady GaGa?

  3. Boricua April 29, 2010

    She’s doing WAY too much…

  4. ROBYN RIHANNA FENTY April 29, 2010

    I TOLD U SO ADVICE TO ALL THE STANS DON’T TALK S*** UNTIL THE NUMBER COME OUT

  5. ROBYN RIHANNA FENTY April 29, 2010

    CIARA NUMBER 93 ON BUT THE VIDEO IS HOT AND I DIDN’T EXPECT HER TO BE BIG ON THE HOT 100 BUT XTINA IS A FLOP

  6. Reasonable Voice April 29, 2010

    “Video Phone” and “Massive Attack” would have made me think twice before hiring Hype Williams to direct my first video in years, but that’s just me.

  7. Rob April 29, 2010

    EPIC FLOP Christina is done! This video looks so desperate!

  8. ~TeAM WeeZY~ April 29, 2010

    I wonder what the fans/stans have to say about this ish.

    It’s wierd that she’s doing this when the Gaga comparisons are in full blast! This definitely doesn’t help AT ALL!

    And I’m not sure it’s cool to do ish like this as a mother. =|

  9. Reasonable Voice April 29, 2010

    Hell, “Belly” would have made me think twice before hiring Hype Williams to direct my video.

  10. bbop April 29, 2010

    Damn Xtina I thought you were past this stage. It just makes her look desperate.

  11. MADONNA April 29, 2010

    Looks like my ‘Human Nature’ video back from 1995.

    EVERYBODY BEEN COPYING ME! I AM STILL THE QUEEN OF POP B******!

    ps: I hope this video is as good as the hype…if not, so long x-tina.

  12. LoveIt April 29, 2010

    I know that I CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS VIDEO!
    Its going to be amazing!!!
    And Gaga? Well lets just say Chrisitna is the one that was always kinda dirrty and shockinh (see: Stripped era) and I know she was always talking how she likes to watch girls kissing and such stuff…

  13. RANDOM April 29, 2010

    what hype 😐 i’m still to the WHOLE album hope its not all desperate.

  14. Reasonable Voice April 29, 2010

    “And I’m not sure it’s cool to do ish like this as a mother. =|”

    As opposed to your paramour (weezy) talking about oral s**, calling women b******, this that and the other despite his being a father of several children, including a daughter . . .

    Can we stop with the sexism please?

    and while we’re at it, can we also also hold off on the Gaga comparisons until the whole video drops? Need I remind people what the haters were saying about ‘Rude Boy” when the preview clips came out showing Rihanna in a full body unitard, and the haters were out saying, “oh, Ri’s jacking Bey. This is the Kitty Kat redux video.” Then low and behold “Rude Boy” premired and the video looked nothing like Beyonce Kitty Kat.

    Video Phone was so supposed to be so f****** epic based on the pics of Bey and Gaga sitting in chairs with matching leos and gloves . . . No one felt that way after watching the whole video

  15. BeysRealKing April 29, 2010

    Ok Xtina stans don’t shoot me BUT I sense a bit too much GaGa. I mean first she wears the same outfit, the video preview has a lot of GaGa in it AND now this whole lesbian thing? This has GaGa written all over it!

    I still love Xtina but I feel she is doing everything wrong! I want her to go back to those candyman days.

  16. Anthony April 29, 2010

    But Christina has always been an unpopular superstar; you can’t call her a flop though when Back to Basics went to number one in thirteen countries. It only looks like she is desperate because of your own mind frame: for the past year and a half we have had Gaga flashed everywhere, so when you see Christina symbolically displaying sexual power in her new video, you think she is trying too hard, but this is just not the case. I love the single but I don’t think it is number one material.

  17. Tha Phoenix April 29, 2010

    @REASONABLEVOICE – I stan for B, but I couldn’t agree more with you. Another example of a s***** Hype Williams video is Mariah’s IWTKWLI. Nowhere NEAR his best work.

    And, yeah, Christina, I love you but you are trying way too damn hard.

    That is all.

  18. bbq April 29, 2010

    This s*** looks ready to be banned. I hope she’s not trying to be so outrageous that it backfires on her.

  19. “Dj Y2k Malone” April 29, 2010

    well the video premieres tonight @ midnight eastern standard time we shall see

  20. Aunt Jackie April 29, 2010

    Oh my………go ahead then Christina………

  21. Gareth April 29, 2010

    I think’s going for an electro-Stripped era. It’ll prob be quite good I think. I wish people would stop going on about GaGa. She is only one of several people doing that sort of thing. While GaGa does what she does very well, she didn’t really invent any of it. It has been done before so it’s not her trademarked way of doing things. Most artists have similarites in the music industry, they all move with trends to a greater or lesser extent and GaGa will too whenever her way of doing things doesn’t wprk anymore.

  22. Phresh Mentality April 29, 2010

    haha! looks nice!

    Check out PMBLOGAZINE.com !! NOW!

  23. missingbeyonce April 29, 2010

    to hell with your hatin ass haters my b**** lookin hooooooot and the video isnt out and she didnt start to promo when she do all that and the song flop then wecan talk

  24. ~TeAM WeeZY~ April 29, 2010

    @Reasonable Voice

    Um, actually all of which you named are things that I don’t particularly like about Wayne. I don’t mind profane language or sexually explicit lyrics, however, I do think he takes it too far. I’m not sure if you directed that question to me because he’s in my gravatar, but that doesn’t confirm that I agree with everything he does. I don’t think I’m sexist, however, I just find it a bit more explicit when it’s lesbian-esque. Not only that I think she’s too old for that ish. I think she, at one time, posed herself as a perfect family woman (marraige and child), now she’s back to being Dirrrty??? Wierd.

    Now to the Gaga comparisons. It’s not just the video clips and photos that I’ve seen but it’s the song itself. Xtina’s never done dance/techno (that I know of) but now she’s doing it because it’s the most popular trend these days. And I am in no way saying that Gaga created dance/techno but she made it popular and mainstream again.

    Now I, myself, didn’t think “Rude Boy” was like “Kitty Kat” before or after the video came out in any way. I think the similarity was there only because the director, Melina, lacks versatility IMO. I think that’s the reason people said it looked the same.

    And I agree about the “Video Phone” video because I thought it was pure s***! Previews, pics, actual video, and ALL.

  25. missingbeyonce April 29, 2010

    SHE DID GIRL ON GIRL KISS MADOONA AND BRITNEY WAY BEFORE GAGA

  26. Christian April 29, 2010

    I have confidence in Christina…… I’m sure the image she’s portraying regarding her 1st single/video WILL NOT overshadowed the whole album. I mean looked how ‘Stripped” turned out when she released ‘Dirrty” and the remaining singles she released after ‘Dirrty” were hits and “Stripped’ was a WORLDWIDE SUCCESS!!!!! So i’m not counting Christina out.

  27. jonstrax April 29, 2010

    IM READY FOR THIS VIDEO NOW SHE BETTER GIVE ME SOMETHING BIG TO MATCH UP WITH THE HYPE OVER THIS VIDEO

  28. jonstrax April 29, 2010

  30. DizzyGuy1985 April 29, 2010

    Christina your not a h**…your just doing “h** s***”

    You are a mother.

    You are a veteran in this game.

    You have talent.

    I am disappionted she is going this route. She could have been the Celine Dion of pop music. I wish she would have kept it classy.

  31. missingbeyonce April 29, 2010

  32. steven April 29, 2010

  34. Black April 29, 2010

    Legend my ass

  35. ImHighPrice April 29, 2010

    @ Robyn Rihanna Fenty

    Ciara’s debut on the Hot 100 was based solely on airplay so expect it to rise especially with boost of digital purchases so that’s pretty good being that it was meant for the R&B/Hip-Hop charts.
    ————————————

    As for this hot ass mess right here…Miss. Christina, I hate this f****** song & the video looks vulgar for no reason…she should of went the urban/pop route like Britney did. SMH…I bet “Glam” would have ben a better single choice…

    This is the last straw, h** be seated! U are a mother shame on ur ass
    shock factor? More like desperate as hell, she knows this mess is flopping smh

  39. licaan April 29, 2010

    She has an AMAZING voice!!! Why try so damn hard? I dont get it

  40. SOOS April 29, 2010

    SAM!

    Dirrty peaked at #48 on the Billboard chart so that means that DIRRTY was not a great song? It was not a big hit worldwide? Stripped was not one of the best albums of 2002-2003 era?
    Who cares about the Billboard Chart? It’s just one chart of world’s 200 countries…

    You are so stupid Sam, I’m sorry to say this, just you don’t think clever….

    This blog keeps getting worse and worse by you Sam.

  41. steven April 29, 2010

    Exactly my ponint hhhmmmm sit who’s ass down hhhhmmmm I thinnk the whole thing has been done way before the britney and madonna and xtina please gaga never brang s*** to the table she took it from every other artist including xtina I don’t see xtina slowing down anytime soon people she’s just getting started. Keep talkin double standards I tell you she was right only she can be the one to push the envelope and people want to call her names and horrible mother okay she’s not britney people. S*** if I was her son I be proude and be like look she’s mom cause she never gave a f*** what people thought she’s being herself. Xtina ain’t going anywhere haters and all you find her a massive threat why the voice the beauty and she don’t give a flying f*** yeah she’s a b**** so what.

  42. Sarah April 29, 2010

    Major flop and I can tell this video is going to be desperate as I don’t know what. If Oprah doesn’t help the song get a boost on the Hot 100, NOTHING ELSE WILL.

    I guess Christina call herself trying to outdo the Dirrty video. And people like Madonna and GaGa were all over the lesbian s*** in their videos. Christina is not a trendsetter, legend, icon or anything of the like and I get fed up with the stupid fans who stan for her referring to her as a legend. Get a f****** clue what a legend is because Aguilera hasn’t earned that title.

    Not even Britney was ever this desperate.

  43. mrsjones April 29, 2010

    yeah thats not gonna help the gaga comparisons at all. this actually looks pretty pathetic. this is the s*** we are allowing our kids to watch these days? wow

  44. Kenney April 29, 2010

    WHY IS IT THAT ANYTHING EVERYBODY DOES THESE DAYS ALWAYS “THAT IS SO LADY GAGA”…DID Y’ALL EVER THINK THAT WHAT GAGA IS DOING NOW HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE YEARS AND YEARS AGO!

    ANYWAY- ONCE THIS VIDEO COMES OUT AND SHE PERFORMS ON OPRAH, THIS SONG WILL SKYROCKET UP THE CHARTS! AND EVEN IF IT DOESN’T, CHRISTINA DOESN’T TRY TO COMPETE WITH ANYBODY SHE JUST LIKES TO HAVE FUN!

  45. steven April 29, 2010

    Thank you Kenny that is not why Christina is around to be like I. Red my songs to be number one. She’s not all about that her songs have meaning to them. Why I like her so much is she’s doing what she was born to do look she was singing at 10 or so. Just cause she’s. Pushing the envelope again o geeze all of a sudden her careers over its the first video she’s not herself for this video. Let her have some fun and stop bringing her down. She’s married has. Kid she focused on that for 4 yes let her have some fun with her album single and video. At least she’s not being a bad mom doing drugs partying shaving her head and s***. You haters need to back off her and let hetlr live her life she’s human and can express herself in her music and videos p*** off the negativity.

  46. Kyle April 29, 2010

    I really do love Christina and think she’s a great artist, but her recent work is really making me laugh. It all SCREAMS LADY GAGA. She can say that her music “speaks for itself” but honestly she isn’t going to hear the last of these comparisons. I’m not even a huge Gaga fan but I must say that with only one album in the can, she is already in a league of her own and is making decade veterans like Christina look foolish.

  47. LoveIt April 29, 2010

    IF YOU DONT LIKE IT FU*K YOU!!!! XTINA IS BACK! LIKE IT OR NOT!

  48. Love Music April 29, 2010

    This video should be interstin

  49. Kenney April 29, 2010

    ME AND STEVEN WILL COME AT ALL YOU XLEGENDTINA HATERS! AND LIKE CHRISTINA SAYS “THE OLD ME’S GONE, I FEEL BRAND NEW AND IF YOU DON’T LIKE IT F*** YOU!”

    WHY IS IT CHRISTINA WAS CRITICIZED AND OSTRACIZED SO MUCH BACK IN HER “STRIPPED” DAYS, BUT LADY GAG-ME COMES ALONG 10X’S WORSE AND Y’ALL WANT TO PRAISE HER SLUTTY ASS VIDEOS AND HORRENDOUS OVER THE TOP COSTUMES, THEN CHRISTINA COMES BACK WANTING TO JUST HAVE SOME FUN AND CREATE DIRRTY 2.0 BUT Y’ALL WANT TO CALL HER A W**** AND S***?! AT LEAST CHRISTINA HAS THE BODY TO FILL OUT HER OUTFITS AND DOESN’T NEED TO DRESS LIKE A DAMN CORPSE TO GET ATTENTION! BRITNEY HAS 2 KIDS AND SANG A SONG CALLED “IF U SEEK AMY & 3!” AND Y’ALL PRAISED HER FOR THAT!?

    WHO IS THE ONE WHO JUST FILMED A MOVIE AND HAS A FEW NEW SONGS WITH ONE OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL GAY ICONS OF OUR TIME!?

    NOT MYSELF TONIGHT IS IN FOR GREAT THINGS! REGARDLESS OF HOW Y’ALL B****** FEEL, LIKE CHRISTINA’S OLD SONG SAYS “I’M HERE TO STAY, CAUSE WHETHER Y’ALL LOVE OR YOU’RE HATIN ON ME I’LL STILL BE THE SAME GIRL I USE TO BE, I AIN’T GOIN NO PLACE NO I’M HERE TO STAY!

  50. Nick April 29, 2010

    the ONLY reason she is being compared to GAGA, is because they are btoh little skinny white blonde chicks…AGUILERA was on this look with her AMAZING STRIPPED album. If she wants people 2 stop comparing, she is gonna have 2 bring it HARD! (maybe change her hair, & style) funky, fresh, it could work…I like her, we shall see tho-

  51. BENJAMIN GRANGER April 29, 2010

    Just as I thought she would do-try and top Gaga. Looks like a cap off the “Telephone” video. You made the mistake of sitting on your ass for 4 years and let someone take your spot Xtina, thats the way it goes. Better luck next go-round.

  52. Dave April 29, 2010

    I’m pretty sure she’ll be fine. & let’s not forget Christina has been out over a decade & the swag Gaga is rocking now, Christina already rocked it a decade down the line. Please sit… Her single will rise back up the charts with the video & promotion. Don’t count her out

  53. Ghetto Fab April 29, 2010

    Again with the Gaga comparisons especially when what the video really looks like is a Madonna/Grace Jones video all rolled into One. Again Gaga didn’t create anything. She didn’t even make dance/pop popular. We were already moving into that era of music when she hit the scene. Gaga just made perfect timing.

    Can’t wait to see the video. Hopefully Hype Williams can redeem himself because that Video Phone was an EPIC FAIL.

  54. Jeff April 29, 2010

    I can’t believe all the haters. X-Tina has been big since the ’90’s and has been switching up her style and image before GaGa was anybody. If anyone copied anything, it’s GaGa…I LOVE both artists and there’s plenty of room on radio for more than just one female. They are both powerful women doing their thing.
